Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the results of functional movement screen scores and the incidence of injury in high school athletes.
The statistical population of the study was all female high school athletes in Zanjan in 1400 that 100 people (50 with a history of injury and 50 without injury) were purposefully selected. Injury registration form and functional movement screen scores (FMS) were used to collect data.
Pearson correlation coefficient and regression with SPSS software version 24 were used to analyze the data. Based on the results, there is a very strong negative and significant relationship between the total score of the functional motor test and the injury rate of high school athletes (P = 0.001). Also, according to the values obtained from regression analysis, active leg lifting and step over obstacle and linear launch, shoulder mobility, rotational stability, stability swimming and deep squat can predict the injury rate of high school athletes.
According to the results, it seems that the scores of motor-functional tests provide trainers and therapists with the ability to properly prevent injury rates. It is recommended that coaches and athletes, along with other medical tests, use functional tests (FMS) to predict injury rates.
Considering the relationship between the total score of functional motor test and the incidence rate of injury of student-athletes, it can be said that therapists and sports medicine specialists use these tests as a valid and efficient tool to measure the level of performance of these people in identifying susceptible injured people
